@darkness, I think that it is detaching. I realise that I don't need her affection, and I don't need to be affectionate to her either. It's still my choice.
I refuse to conform, even to the general Db rules. Have always been a rebel. I test all theories to see their impact and see what works best. Don't get me wrong,I know that DBing works, but that does not mean that it can't be fun.
I feel so liberated from my WW, I'm focusing on myself. I don't think I've ever done that in my life. No worries about food for the W, if the W wants to get drunk. That's her problems. However, I still know that it's her choice if she wants to stay, but it's my choice what I do with my life.
Just cos things are going right, doesn't mean that they were always wrong.
